| Abstract: |
| This dataset contains pinon-juniper woodland biomass data and is part of a long-term
study at the Sevilleta LTER measuring net primary production (NPP) across four distinct
ecosystems: creosote-dominant shrubland (Site C, est. winter 1999), black grama-dominant
grassland (Site G, est. winter 1999), blue grama-dominant grassland (Site B, est.
winter 2002), and pinon-juniper woodland (Site P, est. winter 2003). Net primary production
is a fundamental ecological variable that quantifies rates of carbon consumption and
fixation. Estimates of NPP are important in understanding energy flow at a community
level as well as spatial and temporal responses to a range of ecological processes.Above-ground
net primary production is the change in plant biomass, represented by stems, flowers,
fruit and and foliage, over time and incoporates growth as well as loss to death and
decomposition. To measure this change the vegetation variables in this dataset, including
species composition and the cover and height of individuals, are sampled twice yearly
(spring and fall) at permanent 1m x 1m plots within each site. A third sampling at
Site C is performed in the winter. Volumetric measurements are made using vegetation
data from permanent plots (SEV278, "Pinon-Juniper (Core Site) Quadrat Data for the
Net Primary Production Study") and regressions correlating species biomass and volume
constructed using seasonal harvest weights from SEV157, "Net Primary Productivity
(NPP) Weight Data."

| Geographic Description: |
Location: The Cerro Montosa Pinyon-Juniper site has been the location of major Sevilleta
LTER research since 1989. Meteorological trends, net primary productivity, rodent
and ground-dwelling arthropod populations, mycorrhizal responses to fertilizer, pinyon-juniper
fruit and nut production, and pinyon mortality are all being investigated at this
site. Previous studies have included analyses of pinyon tree rings for regional climate
reconstruction.Vegetation: The vegetation is New Mexico Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, dominated
by Colorado pinyon (Pinus edulis) and one-seed juniper (Juniperus monosperma), and
accompanied by gray oak (Quercus grisea). There is a diverse shrub component, including
scrub live oak (Q. turbinella), mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus montanus), broom snakeweed
(Gutierrezia sarothrae), sacahuista (Nolina microcarpa), red barberry (Mahonia haematocarpa),
Apache plume (Fallugia paradoxa), tree cholla (Opuntia imbricata), skunkbush (Rhus
trilobata), and banana yucca (Yucca baccata). Grass diversity is also high, and open
spaces between trees are dominated by blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), with hairy
and sideoats grama (B. hirsuta and B. curtipendula) and black grama (B. eriopoda)
also being significant. Other common grasses include purple threeawn (Aristida purpurea),
wolftail (Lycurus phleoides), mountain and ring muhly (M. montanus and M. torreyi),
and New Mexican porcupinegrass (Heterostipa neomexicana). Common forbs include small-flowered
milkvetch (Astragalus nuttallianus), white sagebrush (Artemesia ludoviciana), Fendler’s
arabis (Arabis fendleri), Fendler’s sandmat (Chamaesyce fendleri), New Mexico thistle
(Cirsium neomexicanum), false pennyroyal (Hedeoma oblongifolia), bastard sage (Eriogonum
wrightii), pingüe rubberweed (Hymenoxys richardsonii), large four o’clock (Mirabilis
multiflora), Fendler's penstemon (Penstemon fendleri), and globemallows (Sphaeralcea
hastulata and S. wrightii). ,

| Description: |
| Data Processing Techniques to Derive Biomass and NPP:Data from SEV278 and SEV157 are
used used to calculate seasonal and annual production of each species in each quadrat
for a given year. Allometric equations derived from harvested samples of each species
for each season are applied to the measured cover, height, and count of each species
in each quadrat. This provides seasonal biomass for winter, spring, and fall.Seasonal
NPP is derived by subtracting the previous season's biomass from the biomass for the
current season. For example, spring NPP is calculated by subtracting the winter weight
from the spring weight for each species in a given quadrat. Negative differences are
considered to be 0. Likewise, fall production is computed by subtracting spring biomass
from fall biomass. Annual biomass is taken as the sum of spring and fall NPP.
